PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Replicated evaluation of the Vocational Case Co-ordinator (VCC) Model for vocational rehabilitation after acquired brain injury (ABI). RESEARCH DESIGN: Referral cohort studied within the social model of disability. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: One hundred and thirty-eight participants with ABI were assisted by a VCC to develop self-directed vocational plans and networks of medical centre and community services. Early intervention, work trials, temporary or long-term supported employment and employer education are fundamental features of the VCC Model. MAIN OUTCOMES AND RESULTS: One year after initial placement 80% of participants remained in community-based employment, 56% of the total sample with no support. Better outcomes were associated with earlier intervention but not with initial injury severity. CONCLUSIONS: Results replicate original findings of the effectiveness of the VCC Model of vocational rehabilitation after ABI with a different VCC. Implications for social change within the social model of disability are discussed.
